About the charity : War Child War Child
War Child is an international child protection agency that works with the most marginalised children - child soldiers, street kids and children in prison - in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. War Child believes it is unacceptable that children continue to be victims of war. 66% of people who die in conflict are children. In the last decade alone 1.5 million children have died in wars. Four million have been disabled and a further 10 million traumatised. We provide vital, on the ground support programmes in each of the conflict zones we work in but also lobby politicians and governments to ensure our cause and the rights of children affected by war remains high on the public and political agendas. This approach allows us to ensure every pound we receive goes as far as possible - not only to the crucial projects in the field, but to ensuring children caught up in conflict, no matter where they may be, have a chance to be protected. We work where other agencies do not, reaching the most at risk children in the most dangerous war zones and your support means we can continue to do so. War Child looks forward to a world in which war is not prosecuted on children.

Personal message:

Greetings Visitors!!

Seeing as you've somehow ended up here, allow me to make my sales pitch (of sorts).

From March 1st to June 1st, I will stop cutting my hair and having a shave, thereby increasing exponentially the number of stop & searches I have to endure from the boys in blue - all in the name of charity!!

I'm gonna be supporting War Child, specifically their Iraq appeal, which is focused on improving the quality of life of those affected by the ongoing war.

I'll ONLY be promoting the fact that I'm doing this through various forms of social media, so there will be no busking (although Lloyd you're welcome to! :D), no standing in lectures pleading for money and no running off with people's wallets in the name of charity.

The 'amount raised offline' bit will be a measure of Paypal donations so I'm not cheating :)

So gimme some love y'all.

And Gift Aid! Cause it don't cost you a thing and you know you wanna take something back from Mr. Darling and Northern Rock.

Many many thanks.
